EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Marie Armand Patrice de Mac Mahon (1855-1927), the 2nd Duke of Magenta and 6th Marquis of MacMahon, a prominent figure in French military history. Born on October 26, 1855, Mac Mahon was the eldest son of the renowned French general, Patrice de Mac Mahon, 1st Duke of Magenta. He served in the French military throughout his life, rising to the rank of brigadier general. The Duke is depicted in this image with an air of authority and dignity, wearing the uniform of a French general complete with the prestigious Star of Italy on his chest. This decoration was awarded to his father for his victories during the Italian Wars of 1859. The Duke's piercing gaze and well-groomed beard add to his regal presence. This engraving was published in La Ilustracion Artistica in 1896, during the Belle Époque period in Europe. The vibrant colors used in the print bring the Duke's portrait to life, making it a stunning addition to any historical collection. Mac Mahon's legacy as a French military leader and member of the noble MacMahon family continues to be celebrated in European history. Born in Paris, France, Mac Mahon died on February 14, 1927, leaving behind a rich military and familial legacy. This engraving serves as a testament to his important role in French military history and the esteemed position he held within French society during the late 19th century.
